I've seen Wattpad on Blackberry back in something like 2007 or 2008. It wasn't good, so I didn't stick around after a day or two. Horrible grammar and storytelling everywhere.
Now though, it's very popular and massive. Wattpadd really invested themselves. Not only have they improved the interface, have a much bigger userbase, better writing quality, but also have opportunities for authors and writers to make money. Via exposure, Futures, Fan Funding, or other means.
In the age of social media, this has a lot of potential to boost authors and writers to earning income like never before. It will take hard work, and I've never been good at managing social media to a point where I am consistent (see my blog history for proof, which probably hurts me). In any case, I am willing to persist. It's harder to get or step up, and very easy to fall or get down. I watche dmy daughter, barely 21 months, struggling to get on her toy pony. Once I helped her on, she rocked for a few minutes, then got down like a pro.
Anyway, I am going to work hard on building my presence. It's not easy, but here I am. All it takes is one step at a time.
